Home My WebLink About4/17/2013 - STAFF REPORTS F r 1L i [ul3Alt 37 June6,2Q18 CITY The Honorable Steve Pougnet Mr.Chris S.Mills Mr.Paul Lewin Mayor,City of Palm Springs Palm Springs City Council Palm Springs City Council Mr.Rick Hutcheson Ms.Ginny Foat Palm Springs City Council Palm Springs City Council Dear Mayor Pougnet and Council Members, Thank you for your consideration of sponsorship for the World Cup in Palm Springs. We know that the City spends a significant amount of effort investigating the sponsorship appeals that wish to be reflected in the 2014 budget and appreciate what it will require for the City to have a sponsorship relationship with us. Since our last communication,the 2013 World Cup statistics were finalized and the changes are now reflected in the enclosed information. This same information was provided to the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games(SCCOG). We reached out to them recently to discuss the prospect of a mutually beneficial relationship. We are happy to report that our message was well received and discussions have begun regarding producing successful Modern Pentathlon World Cup competitions in the United States,and a strong bid for the return of the Summer Olympic Games to the City of Los Angeles in 2024. For these events to be successful,we continue to encourage a strong show of sponsorship from the City of Palm Springs. We have been contacted by others offering a venue alternative in the Southern California region,especially in the last two months,but wish to keep the Palm Springs venue for many reasons. The single venue is the most efficient for athletes and spectators,the climate is cooperative for the time of year World Cup#1 is required to take place,and the City of Palm Springs has been proven a great destination to offer our international visitors. We previously asked for a$100,000 sponsorship from the City of Palm Springs and stay with this number because it's the core cost of the competition. It does not cover marketing,sponsor incentives,or equine recruiting incentives to name a few,but it will allow USA Pentathlon to sign the 2014 contract with the UIPM for a return to Palm Springs. In addition to this sponsorship request,l ask that you also provide the venue without charge as it was for the 2013 World Cup. We mean to get this event off the ground and have come to understand that it takes more than just one World Cup to do it with a profit-something we'd be willing to share with the City of Palm Springs once this goal is met. We hope you consider this and all aspects of being the hosting city during this decision making time. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions of concerns. Thank you.

Commercial Way,Ste.#10 Palm Springs, CA 92262 March 2, 2013 To: David Ready, Palm Springs City Manager Dear David: Thank you for your promise to take our request for funding to Council in April, when you convene to discuss the funding of projects and special events. As you know,the Well in the Desert was founded in 1996 to serve the needs of mostly homeless people, and has since expanded to serving the needs of low income families,seniors, the working poor, children, and the homeless population. On a daily basis we serve a hot healthy meal,free,to between 125-175 people. Those people are from the groups mentioned in the paragraph above. Daily we provide sack lunches for the same numbers of people. Daily we provide emergency food boxes to people who have run out of food, and weekly we provide home deliveries of groceries to over thirty homebound people, mostly seniors. On a daily basis we offer phone service, mail service,clothing help, and referrals to medical,dental and social service organizations. We help to provide furniture to people too. Most importantly is the sense of worth people who come to the Well feel. We also have a program called "Well Assistance"that we coordinate with the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce, a program that has helped relieve downtown of vagrants and panhandling. We have a very good relationship with the police,and work with them on problems we can help to resolve. For five years we have shown our ability to be a vital part of downtown,with our presence at 181 N. Indian,and our food distribution site. For the past three years we have run our organization out of our offices at 555 N. Commercial Rd., and are one of the best neighbors around. The City supports all of the other service organizations in town, including the animal shelter, Roy's, Mizell,the Stroke Recovery Center,the Center, and most recently funded a 105,000 study of changing street directions. The Well in the Desert spends$150,000.00 for food and the preparation of it. Without food many Palm Springs residents would be hungry. The Well provides services par excellence to the citizens in need in Palm Springs,and because, as the late Roy Wilson said, "we are the safety net for the western end of the Coachella Valle",we deserve,and have earned,the financial support of the City. It is our request that the City Council approve a $2,000.00 a month ($24,000)donation to the Well in the Desert,for the purpose of helping us with our purchase of food for our daily hot meals. We are not requesting that the donation go directly to FIND. They are not yet able to provide the kind of food we cook with and we must buy our protein from Crown Meats, our staples from Smart&Final, and our produce for daily fresh vegetables from Farmer in the Dale,as we usually only receive one fresh vegetable per week from FIND. Please let me know if you need me,or our Board to be present at any meeting to help answer any questions. We are eager to see relations with City Council be positive and productive for both the Well and the residents in the City. It is time that the past,and the negativity once associated with the Well, be left in the past, and that we find a new present that will help sustain our work for the future. I thank you so much for being sensitive to our need. Very Sincerely, Arlen Arlene Rosenthal President,Well in the Desert Sponsorship Request 2 nd Annul al Santa fa SK Benefiting the Guide Dogs of the Desert ,a Saturday, December 21 , 2013 To: City Council Members, City of Palm Springs From: Molly A. Thorpe, Volunteer Coordinator, Santa Paws 5K Benefiting the Guide Dogs of.the Desert Date: March 27, 2013 Dear City Council Members, Soonsorshio Request I am submitting this request for your consideration for the 2013 2nd Annual Santa Paws 5K, benefiting the Guide Dogs of the Desert. This annual event supports the Guide Dogs of the Desert by providing funding used for the purchase, care and training of guide dogs for the visually challenged. I am requesting that the City of Palm Springs sponsor the amount to pay the required city fees which include: Police, streets, land use and the application fee. For the 2013 event, projected fees will total $1,834.00. I am requesting that the city waive these fees for the December 21, 2013 event. Event History Last year, we held the first Santa Paws 5K benefiting the Guide Dogs of the Desert. This outstanding organization lies within the sphere of influence of the City of Palm Springs. In our inaugural event, we had over 400 participants; generating a $10,000.00 donation to this very worthy organization. On of the hallmarks that set this event apart from the many other running events held in this city is that all of the participants dress in a 5- piece Santa Claus suit while participating in this event. The Santa suit is included in the event registration fee. This event is runner, walker, doggie and stroller friendly. The outstanding participation in our inaugural event leads us to believe that this can become a holiday destination event for the City of Palm Springs. As such, we hope to continue to increase participation in this event in future years with the prospect of moving it to Palm Canyon once participation numbers have outgrown our current race route along Ramon Road and Avenida Caballeros. We hope that the city of Palm Springs will support this through continued sponsorship as this event grows. Costs/Funding The goal has always been to keep costs to a minimum, thereby providing the maximum amount of money to be donated to our charity, Guide Dogs of the Desert. In the inaugural event (December 22, 2012), the city required $1,600.00 in fees. With the additional requirements of the $249.00 application fee and the $122.00 land use charge, the projected city costs for 2013 will be approximately $1,971.00 The other event costs include a 5-piece Santa Suit for each participant, event t-shirts, overall trophies, division medals, timing company, photos, insurance, sound system rental, advertising, water, snacks, goodie bags, table/chair rentals, etc. Fortunately, we have been able to secure many of these items/services as either a donation or purchased at a reduced cost. Additionally, we have some community sponsors who support this event and help off-set some of the expenses. Our goal is to garner enough sponsorships to off-set 100% of the event costs. Entry fee for this event is $30.00 per person. Based upon last year's participation of 400 entrants, we grossed approximately $12,000. After expenses, we were able to donate $10,000.00 to the Guide Dogs of the Desert. Sponsorship Recognition The City of Palm Springs, as an event sponsor, will have the city logo placed on the event t-shirt. This recognition will be given for supporting this event by off-setting the city fees. On behalf of the Whitewater Lions Club and myself, I submit this request as volunteer event organizers who do not personally financially benefit in any way through our participation in coordinating this event. Your support and sponsorship would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully Submitted, Molly A. Thorpe, Volunteer Event Coordinator, Santa Paws 5K, Benefiting the Guide Dogs of the Desert March 28, 2013 Palm Springs City Council Palm Springs, CA Dear Palm Springs Council Members, In addition to the prior request for funding to assist with city fees, The Whitewater Guide Dogs of the Desert Lions Club and the Palm Springs Marathon Runners Club are seeking $3,000 in funding support to establish a scholarship program to enable 100 local children to participate, free of charge, in the second annual Santa Paws 5K event benefiting Guide Dogs of the Desert. We believe that involving children in healthy activities such as running and walking will not only aid in the ongoing battle against childhood obesity, but will help in the formation of a healthy lifestyle lasting into adulthood. Palm Springs is a city which promotes healthy living and with the inclusion of more children, learning healthy choices early, this can certainly become an event to which the city of Palm Springs can proudly attach its name. With the overwhelming success of our inaugural event, we believe that this can become a holiday destination event for the city of Palm Springs. We had over 400 participants at the inaugural event and hope to increase the participation to 1000 this year with future plans of moving the run to Palm Canyon Drive. The inaugural Santa Paws 5K event was December 22, 2012 and after expenses, we were able to donate more than $10,000 to Guide Dogs of the Desert. This 5K run is unique in that every adult participant receives a complete Santa suit including a beard and hat to wear during the 5K run along the Ramon Road and Avenida Caballeros race route, while the children receive elf shirts and hats and participating dogs receive festive bandanas. After the run, participants are treated to cookies and milk. Guide Dogs of the Desert is a 501 (c) (3) organization that was founded in 1972 to provide - free of charge - safe mobility, loving companionship and the "miracle of independence" to the blind through the use of a guide dog. In addition, they conduct community outreach and education programs. Since 1972, Guide Dogs of the Desert has graduated more than 1200 client/dog teams and has provided post-graduate support to the teams. Every 7 minutes someone in America becomes legally blind or visually impaired. Guide Dogs of the Desert is able to meet the needs of the visually impaired and blind clients because of generous donations, sponsorships, special events and fund-raising efforts including the Santa Paws 5K event. Donations are used to purchase equipment as well as breed, raise, and train the dogs, house and educate the students during their 28 day stay on campus prior to graduation, and provide post graduate support. The Whitewater Guide Dogs of the Desert Lions Club and the Palm Springs Marathon Runners Club are seeking funding from the city of Palm Springs to set up a scholarship fund to enable 100 children to participate free of charge in the second annual Santa Paws 5K. The event will be a fun and festive opportunity to encourage children to become active and healthy, all while helping to support the blind community. As a sponsor of this event, the city of Palm Springs logo will be placed on the event t- shirts and featured prominently in event literature in recognition of their generous donation. Thank you for your consideration of our request. If you have any questions, please contact Molly Thorpe, volunteer event coordinator at 760-413-6508.

Thorpe, Volunteer Coordinator, Run for Ike Date: March 27, 2013 Dear City Council Members, Sponsorship Reauest Z am submitting this request for your consideration for the 2014 4th Annual Run for Ike. This annual event benefits the Palm Springs Police Department K-9 Fund. Z am requesting that the City of Palm Springs sponsor the amount to pay the required city fees which include: Police, streets, land use and the application fee. For the 2013 event, these fees totaled $1,834.00. Z am requesting that the city waive these fees for the 2014 event. Event History For the past 3 years, I have spearheaded the annual RUN FOR ZKE 5K, in memory of Officer Ike, the K-9 killed in the line of duty on April 17, 2011. As a local teacher, I was at a weekend athletic event with a group of our students when we heard the new about Ike. Upon learning of the shooting and the dog's demise, one of my younger students moaned, "Oh, no. Not the dog. I wish there was something we could do". I went home that weekend with his words resonating in my mind. By Monday morning, I knew that we could do something and the idea for RUN FOR ZKE was born. There was an overwhelming outpouring of community support in Ike's memory, symbolizing the loyal work and dedication of all officers on the city's force and highlighting the service of these noble and dedicated service dogs. So, in Ike's memory, I volunteer to organize a SK (3.1 mile) walk/run with all profits donated to the Palm Springs Police Department K-9 Fund. In the previous two years, we have donated $23,627.00 to the department's K- 9 fund. I have made a commitment to the department to volunteer my time to organize this annual event. Costs/Funding My goal has always been to keep costs to a minimum, thereby providing the maximum amount of money to be donated to the K-9 fund. Because this event 100% benefits the Palm Springs Police Department and it is held in memory of one of its officers, the City of Palm Springs absorbed the cost of police and streets the first two years of this event. This year, I am required to pay the streets department fee of $895.00, while the police department will still pay their portion of the event equaling $568.00. In future years, it was left uncertain if they will be able to continue to cover that portion of the cost. New this year, 2013, I was informed that I would also be responsible for paying an added land use permit fee of approximately $122.00. I was also told that, in the future, I would be required to pay a $249.00 application fee for this event. These fees total: $568.00 police (police will cover this for 2013) $895.00 streets $122.00 land use $249.00 application fee Total Amount: $1,266.00 The other event costs include event t-shirts, finisher awards, overall trophies, division medals, timing company, photos, insurance, sound system rental, advertising, promotional stuffed "Jr. Ike" dolls, pancake breakfast, water, snacks, goodie bags, table/chair rentals, etc. Fortunately, I have been able to secure many of these items/services as either a donation or purchased at a reduce cost. Additionally, we have some community sponsors who support this event and help off-set some of the costs. As such, the actual event costs total approximately $7,500 + $1,266.00 (city fees) for a total event cost of approximately $9,000.00 for the 2013 event. This year, I have $6,500.00 in sponsorships, leaving the net cost of the event at $2,500.00 Entry fee for this event is $30.00 per person and with an estimated 350 participants, we hope to gross approximately $10,500. After expenses, this should leave us with approximately $8,000.00 to donate to the Palm Springs Police Department K-9 Fund. r Sponsorship Recognition In past years, I have always recognized the City of Palm Springs as an event sponsor by placing the city logo on the event t-shirt. This recognition will continue if the city agrees to support this event by off-setting the city fees. I submit this request as a volunteer event organizer who does not charge a single penny for coordinating this event. It is through my belief that it is important to give back to this community, for which I have worked for the past 37 years as a public school teacher, that I dedicate my time, expertise and effort to organize and present RUN FOR IKE. Your support and sponsorship would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully Submitted, Molly A.

Mayor Stan Thurston Marilyn Monroe 3 Palm Springs Youth Football and Cheer Association Request for City Funds Introduction Hello Palm Springs City council, my name is Mario Yanez I am a board member for the Palm Springs Youth Football and Cheer Association. We have players ranging from 5yrs old to 14yrs old. This is a great athletic program, helping the children of Palm Springs develop many skills including team work and discipline. I must include that we are a traveling football team going up against other cities like Chino Hills, Corona, Murrieta, Beaumont and Riverside (these are well funded teams). We are proud to say that our Jr. Micro Division won the 2012 Super bowl, reflecting the skills and dedication of our Coaching staff, Players and parents. Finances _As a parent of 2, returning for the 5th year I have seen a decline in returning players as well as new players. This is mainly due to the fees that parents are unable to pay. We have helped out families despite their inability to pay sing up fees by allowing the children to still play. This has put us in a financial Struggle; even though we want all children to play we can't afford to eat the cost any longer. The cost to register our conference has gone up this year. Parts of the cost we have for the season are Referee fees ($2,500) Registration fees ($2,200) Jerseys (?) City park Lights ($1,500) Photos (?) Trophies (?) End of season pizza party/Award ceremony (?) Plus miscellaneous items. Safety Gear _One of the most important things to help keep the children as safe as possible is adequate safety equipment. Sadly we don't have the safest, up to date, fully functional safety gear to issue the players. Our gear is old, worn out, outdated and probably the worst in the entire league, This is why it is extremely important for the safety of the children in our community that city funds be allocated to this program. We need the City's help to purchase new safety gear Helmets, Shoulder Pads, padded pants and adequate training equipment. There are roughly 75- 100 helmets needed, $85 each. Also 35-45 youth size shoulder pads $75 each, 100 padded practice pants $50 each and 8 pop up training bags $95 each. These amounts are not to replace all our equipment; it's only to upgrade the worst equipment. This adds up to $17,635.00 anything that the City can contribute with would be a big step forward Thanks. Sponsorship Recognition _To show our appreciation for the City's help, we would post a special thanks column on our website, dedicate a banner to the City of Palm Springs and post it up at all our home and away games during the football season. Also recognition at the end of the football season during our trophy ceremony. If any other request is made by the city I'm sure we can acuminate. Thanks to all involved... Our Request The Palm Springs Youth football and Cheer Association is requesting the City's help. We desperately need City funds to continue serving the children in our community adequately. We need $17,635.00 for safety gear, $10,200 for finances and entry fee reduction. Total Requested $27,835.00 Special Thanks _On behalf of the Palm Springs Youth Football and Cheer Association we want to say "Thank you" to all the City Council Members and the Mayor for taking the time to review our request and taking us into consideration for possible funds. We are extremely great-full for the courtesy and kindness that all staff members(Bette O'Camb)have shown us. Thank you for your consideration. .i t a BONNIE L.CHAFE MAR Z 5 2013 36564 Camino Del Mar Cathedral City CA 92234 916-591-9922 bonniechafe@aol.@aol.com March 21,2013 Mayor Steve Pougnet City of Palm Springs 3200 E.Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs,CA 92262 Dear Mayor Pougnet: Subject:Palm Springs Warriors Football Team Reference: Financial Support for Operation Costs The Pahn Springs Warriors Jr.Micro football team won the 2012 Regional Jr.All American Football Superbowl Championship in December. Their pride in this accomplishment was awesome. They couldn't have done it without the excellent leadership of Coach Roman Pellum of Plantin'Seeds University at Demuth Park But they need your help to continue down this outstanding path! Who does the Palm Springs Warriors Football Team Serve? • It serves our youth between the ages of 6 to 14 • Most players come from single parent or poverty level families • Many would be considered"at risk"if not for being taken under wing by Coach Roman • They are the future leaders and businessmen of Palm Springs What does the Palm Springs Warriors Football Team Accomplish? • It builds character,teamwork,pride,and self-confidence • It shapes the future leaders of our community • It shows young boys the importance and value of teamwork • It teaches leadership skills • It provides many the first opportunity to excel at anything • It builds confidence knowing they can be whatever they want in life if they are willing to work hard,work with others,set goals,and be diligent in strategizing a way to achieve their dream What will it cost these boys to participate in 2013? • The estimated registration fee for this year is$300 per player • The fee includes their team uniform,helmet,protective gear and a proportionate share of operating expenses • It does not include the cost of football cleats,mouth guards,socks,etc.,all of which add up to another$100 for the family • It does not include the individual costs of transportation by parents to and from games which are played in the cities of Beaumont,Corona,Menifee,Hemet,Fontana,and other outlying cities • These boys must be at games by 7:30 a.m.on Saturdays during season so they frequently must leave their homes by 5:15 a.m.which shows commitment by both the player and his parent Why is the cost so high? • Football uniforms take a beating and wear out and must be replaced • Equipment takes a beating and wears out and must be replaced • Paying for Referees for 4-5 games per week over a 12 week period is costly • Paying the City of Palm Springs for lights at the practice field is expensive! • Paying the City of Palm Springs for use of the High School Stadium for games is expensive! What can the Palm Springs City Council do to support this team? • Consider waiving the fee for lights at the practice field • Consider waiving the fee for use of the High School stadium(1-2 times/season) • Consider contributing a generous cash donation to be the Sponsor of their team Our Superbowl Football Champions have proven they are the best of the best in representing our community. They begin practice July 291,practicing five nights a week through the month of August,in order to be the best for you when their season starts in September. Without your assistance,either by waiving some city charged expenses or contributing generously as a Sponsor,there will be boys unable to participate this year due to their families inability to cover the estimated$300 registration fee. For example,my 9-year old grandson,one of the Team Captains during their Superbowl Championship season last year,comes from a single parent home where$300 represents two months worth of food for him and his mother. He is already seeking a local business to sponsor him this year as his mother does not have the funds. He is not alone. In the past Coach Roman has allowed boys to play even when they couldn't pay the registration fee because he knows how important it is to them and how the experience will help them excel later in life. He pays those costs out of his own pocket. That shouldn't be the case. Hillary Clinton stated a number of years ago, "It takes a uillage to raise a child." The village of Palm Springs has an opportunity to help raise almost 100 boys this 2013 Football season through its generosity. I hope you don't look at these players as just kids. One day they will be our Mayor,our Councilman,our businessman. Please help give them the chance to be the best they can be. Thank you.

We incorporated Nov. 1972 We operate alcohol/drug treatment facilities for adult men and women. Our facilities are located in Desert Hot Springs. We have a total of 109 beds. We have 46 beds for men detox and primary treatment and 16 beds for transitional/sober living. We have 35 beds for women's detox and primary treatment and 12 beds for transitional/sober living. We provide 9,449 dos Dtx/Rx for women and men 14,066 = 23,515 dos and 6,500 transitional/sober living bed days totaling 30,000+total dos. We admit 185 to 200 women to DTX/RX annually and 20/25% are from Palm Springs..... 40 to 50 women annually. Keeping in mind, we have been doing this for 41years in vary rates of admission, and we will be continuing to do so for years to come. The County of Riverside contracts 9,000 DOS and women utilize about 60%of those days 40%of the women are of Extremely Low income and 34%are of Very Low income. The women's program services deficit runs about$17,550 monthly = $210,000 annually requiring us to raise these funds in our communities. We are requesting$83,000 to equip the women's facility with solar system to cover 1/3 of the facility. We have spent $128,000 for the first phase which included the hardware installation, and are experiencing a savings in electrical cost of 20/25%. Our hope is to convert the entire facility to solar and use the savings to serve more low income women. I might add, we also operate a family program and allow low income families to participate at a minimal or no cost to them. Minimal funds for our project to proceed is $20,400. which is one of 4 circuits for this phase.

Ready April 8,2013 City Manager City of Palm Springs Dear Mr. Ready, The United States has been granted a World Cup competition through 2016 for the Summer Olympic sport of Modem Pentathlon. We are addressing this letter specifically for your consideration directly related to venue hosting of the event and additional support sponsorship. Because the sport is not as well known in the United States as it is throughout the rest of the world,the World Cup,in its infancy in this country,and has limited financial support at this time. Success will come quickly with consistency in geographical location,venue,and support once it becomes more recognized in these early days of setting the World Cup standard in the United States. Modem Pentathlon is a highly elite sport with the likelihood of appealing mostly to affluent and influent, charitable minded individuals and families,seeking exposure to an Olympic event Palm Springs has now proven to be the ideal location because of its weather and beauty during the early part of the year,as well as the huge popularity within the sport of the"whole package experience' of access to downtown-airport-venue. While there are other cities in the United States that are vying for the opportunity to hold the World Cup,Palm Springs is the one city being offered it without prior approval of a submitted bid. Hosting an international sporting event such as the Modern Pentathlon World Cup is a great opportunity for the City of Palm Springs to become more known across the globe,especially within the Olympic Community. The World Cup had a successful 2013 competition and we,the local organizing committee,seek to fully open up the spectator and charitable opportunities within the next few years as we get closer to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. We seek relationships with individuals and sponsors that endure and mutually benefit each other and are hoping the City of Palm Springs wants to continue to share that endeavor with us in the years ahead. With the 2013 expenses reaching over$200,000.00 and vendors cutting to cost to accommodate the first year,we approach the City for a significant sponsorship,affording the City many opportunities. We ask for the City of Palm Springs to consider sponsorship for the 2014 World Cup in the amount of $100,000.00.

Documentary films are culturally important because they document some aspect of reality, the human experience and/or historical events,for the purpose of providing instruction, illumina- tion and/or explanation. To date,all of our programs have been made possible through a combination of private and public sponsorships, as well as seed monies provided by Rozene and myself.As you can imagine, the costs to put together these programs is enormous, and would not have been possible without the generosity of all our sponsors, including the City of Palm Springs. This year,we are once again reaching out to the City of Palm Springs,in hopes that we can continue to count on the city's support for our 2013 programs. While some of our programs are able to sustain themselves entirely, or able to sustain themselves with a minimal amount of support from generous individuals and businesses, others are in need of additional support. To that end,we would like to request that the City of Palm Springs once again consider becoming an annual major sponsor of The Palm Springs Cultural Center and its events, by providing funding, part cash and part in-kind services, to be used for our niche Film Festival Events, and the Palm Springs location of our Certified Farmers' Market. We are requesting a cash sponsorship of$15,000.00 ($ 5,000.00 for the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival, $5,000.00 for Cinema Diverse, $5,000.00 for The American Documentary Film Festival), as well as in-kind services and/or waivers of fees to cover the business license fees for the market,and for the use of the Pavilion at the psculturalcenterorg YOUR KEY TO CULTURE The Palm Springs Cultural Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3)public benefit corporation Palm Springs 2100 Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs,California 92262 760.322.3521 Palm Springs Recreation Center for our Summer Palm Springs Market.
